Judging the judges

The Founders of this nation considered judicial independence to be the
people's only hope for freedom against the tyranny of the majority.
That's why the federal system appoints judges for a lifetime, with the only
condition being "good Behavior." Most cries for judicial
"accountability" are from politicians who think they are wiser than
the Founding Fathers. Politicians are always greedy for power and they want to
control judges and will do anything to achieve that goal. If you want courts
that are controlled by politicians, just let the Utah Legislature run loose on
this issue, and heaven help us all.
